The correct text underlined italics replace the corresponding information. 2.1 Design and functionality of a low-cost air quality monitoring device The CUPI-G uses a passive sampling system, relying on natural convection to draw ambient air across the sensors. The instrument housing features three in/outlets to allow air to flow into the device, and to avoid direct sunlight, it was installed under the roof. The CUPI-G incorporates several features to mitigate the impact of environmental factors on sensor performance. The device itself is a compact box measuring 30 cm in height, 21 cm in length, and 18 cm in width, with a weight of around 5 kg. 2.2 CUPI-G validation Based on Nakayama et al. (2018), the PM_2.5 concentration was estimated by applying a correction factor of 1.3 to the output of the PM_2.5 sensor. Therefore, its evaluation for PM_2.5 in Japan was not conducted in this study. [Table Presented] 4. Conclusion The CO concentrations near roadways were 188 ppb (0.188 ppm). This value is substantially below the Japanese standard (daily average for hourly values ≤ 10 ppm), indicating that the measured CO concentrations near roadways were well within regulatory limits.
